MEGHAN Markle’s father Thomas and half-sister Samantha have been accused of reducing the Royal Family to a “Jerry Springer Show” and labelled “tacky” by a Royal expert.

The Duchess of Sussex’s estranged relatives have hit headlines many times since it was announced she was engaged to Prince Harry. Neither attended the wedding and the pair claim Meghan has cut them out of her life. Duncan Larcombe, a former Royal editor and author of Prince Harry: The Inside Story, told Yahoo: “They have reduced the commentary of the Royal Family to something from the Jerry Springer Show, you know it’s tacky."
